Great trunks that meet your requirements, but WAY WAY WAAAAYYYY overpriced: Blue Smiths. Three quality zippered pockets and they look good. They also cost $225 for a pair. I got a pro/bro discount on a pair, and they are legit.

If they made these for $125/pair, they'd own the trunks market. But they don't. So they don't.

Edit: I found these when my shoulder was in a sling for 6 months. Couldn't use my right arm and needed pockets on the left. Most are on the right. Just pointing that out.
Wow, thanks for that. Am tempted, but 20.5" Outseam is their longest, and I need 21" minimum. :geek:

There was a season where Outerknown produced a 16" cotton boardshot - best trunks i've ever owned.

discontinued b/c people are idiots

it had one back pocket, with a snap.

I hate long shorts.

5-11 inches max.

If you guys had legs like mine you'd wear 'em too.

20" on many Volcom boardshorts still. I'd like 21" or 22", but 20" works.


Oneill has options in 21" too but I find the legs are a little tighter than the Volcom:

I agree, wish the short boardshort trend would die. I asked Florence marine to consider making 20" or longer and they gave positive response but nothing yet.

Some baggies @ 22" made from Cordura would be cherry!

Anyone have experience with matuse? Found these. Appears they have 25% off too. Two side pockets, 19” outseam. I also like the outer extra eyelits. The two reviews on them both say order never received, so that has me a little worried

The florence marine trunks are the best I have ever had. Nothing comes close.

UPDATE: I ordered these trunks after seeing this post. Used the code LOVEMATUSE and got 25% off so they were $69. Got them a couple of days ago. Solid trunks. Nothing too special, but the pockets are good and they work. Way more comfortable material than the über expensive Blue Smiths. I like them and am going to order another pair. Good two pocket trunks.
Rating 6.7/7.

Appreciate you posting this! How’s the length? I’m going to purchase a pair as well.

Meh - not long enough for my liking, but very close. Close enough. 19" outseam. I need to roll it up to keep it in, but it still works.

Sorry, couldn't much resist.

Kinda sucks they don't have them in black, though.
